D3 and D5 Models
Remove the aluminium cover holding the handlebar bend in position by unscrewing
the four nuts underneath. The steering head locknut will then be exposed and this
should be removed. Turn the adjusting sleeve which is underneath by means of a flat
piece of metal through its slots until any slackness has been taken up. Do not over-
tighten or steering will be stiff and the ballraces may be damaged. Finally, retighten
the steering head clip bolt, then lock up the locknut and replace the aluminium cover,
taking care to line up the handlebar bend correctly.
Rear Suspension (model D1)
To dismantle the rear suspension, first detach the rear wheel.
Next detach the silencer by removing the right-hand nut at (B) Fig. 11. Then
release pinch bolts (A) and (B).

. 11. Rear suspension unit ( D 1).
The central columns of the suspension units can then be tapped out from
underneath and withdrawn through the top lugs. When this is done the remainder of
each unit can be slid off sideways from the bottom lug, and laid on a bench for
complete dismantling, which consists merely of taking the various pieces apart,
carefully noting their respective positions for subsequent reassembly. The wheel
spindle brackets which, together with the bearing sleeves to which they are attached,
form the spring plungers, can be separated from the sleeves when the pinch bolts (C)
are withdrawn. Note that each of these engages in a notch in its bearing sleeve and
also that the studs at (A) and (B) similarly engage in notches in the central columns.
These are essential for correct engagement and locking, and particular attention must
be paid to their proper alignment on reassembly.
